Manual transmission gear lever becomes very loose due to wear of the plastic washer at the linkage joint between the shift lever and the transmission or loosening of the screws. The following are the solutions and precautions: Solutions: Disassemble the shift lever, replace the new plastic washer and tighten the screws. If it does not affect daily gear shifting, it may not need to be replaced. Precautions for manual transmission shifting: The clutch pedal should be quickly depressed to the bottom. After shifting, the clutch pedal should be lifted quickly at first, and when it reaches the semi-engaged state, it should be lifted slowly, then quickly lifted until released. When shifting gears, master the timing of shifting, the clutch should be depressed to the bottom in one step, and the gear should be engaged in one step. Familiarize yourself with the gear positions and practice the feel more.

Yesterday while driving, I noticed the right rear wheel sensor was faulty, causing the ABS light to come on. As a result, I almost skidded during a rainy-day brake application—my heart was in my throat! This sensor monitors wheel speed, and once it fails, the anti-lock braking system becomes ineffective, making the wheels prone to locking during emergency braking and increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, traction control also fails, causing the rear end to slide when turning on slippery roads, making the car particularly unstable. The dashboard warning light kept flashing, which was really annoying. If not repaired promptly, it could also damage other electronic components over time, such as the stability control system, with repair costs easily running into hundreds of dollars. I recommend getting it checked at a professional shop as soon as you notice the issue and replacing it with a new sensor—don’t risk major losses for minor savings. During regular maintenance, you can proactively inspect the sensor wiring to avoid accidents during rainy-day trips.

How to Use a Manual Anti-glare Rearview Mirror?

How to use a manual anti-glare rearview mirror: 1. When the vehicle is exposed to strong light from behind, the manual anti-glare rearview mirror requires the driver to manually activate the anti-glare function to block the strong light and prevent it from affecting the driver's vision. 2. When not needed, the anti-glare function can also be manually turned off to clearly observe the traffic conditions behind. Here is some relevant information about anti-glare rearview mirrors: 1. The anti-glare function of a manual anti-glare rearview mirror is achieved through the structure of the mirror. The mirror has two surfaces with different reflectivity, installed at different angles. 2. During the day, the high-reflectivity surface is used to ensure a clear reflection of the rear view. When exposed to strong light from behind, the low-reflectivity surface is engaged (by pulling the lever towards the rear of the car) to reduce the intensity of the light and avoid affecting the driver's vision.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on Tiguan?

Tiguan low-end models have an exclamation mark button in front of the gear shift. Press and hold this button to reset the tire pressure light. For Tiguan high-end models, adjust and reset the tire pressure light via the multifunction steering wheel. Below is an explanation of the tire pressure monitoring system: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device. It can alert the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures, thereby avoiding serious accidents. 2. With the tire pressure monitoring system, tires can always be kept working within the specified pressure and temperature range, reducing tire damage and extending tire lifespan. 3. Data shows that driving with insufficient tire pressure, when the tire pressure is 10% below the normal value, reduces tire lifespan by 15%. 4. When the tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption increases by 10%. 5. The tire pressure monitoring system extends tire lifespan, saves expensive fuel, prevents tire blowouts, and enhances the active safety of vehicle driving.

Why do high beams need to be held down continuously to function properly?

Because indiscriminate use of high beams is extremely dangerous, it can cause other drivers to have difficulty seeing the road ahead, leading to serious traffic accidents. Here is some relevant information about high beams: 1. Concept: High beams refer to the adjustment of light intensity based on the distance of the filament when driving at night. At their focal point, the emitted light is parallel and highly concentrated, with greater brightness, allowing illumination of distant and high objects. 2. Usage effect: High beams can improve visibility and expand the field of observation. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible range with high beams is significantly greater than with low beams alone. Therefore, using high beams in such environments is highly necessary.
